Nearly 60% of the EGRET sources are still defeating our attempts at identifying them. The present strategy to elucidate their nature is three-fold: search for counterparts at other wavelengths; search for temporal signatures characteristic of pulsars, binaries or flaring sources; correlation...

We explore the possibility, within the polar cap model, that at least some of the recently identified new population of EGRET sources in the Gould Belt sources are Î³-ray pulsars, viewed at large angles to the magnetic axis, such that the line-of-sight misses both the bright gamma-ray double...

Recently we have shown that the unshocked winds of pulsars could be directly observed through its inverse Compton (IC) Î³-ray emission caused by illumination of the wind by low-frequency photons emitted by the surface of the neutron star or by the pulsar's magnetosphere. Limitations imposed by...

In 1996-1997, the Geminga pulsar was observed at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory with a ground-based gamma-ray telescope. An analysis of the observational data suggests that this object is a source of ultrahigh-energy gamma rays. An analysis of the temporal distribution of gamma-ray...

As noted in the Third EGRET Catalog, six sources near the bright Vela pulsar are thought to be artifacts: 3EG J0824-4610, 3EG J0827-4247, 3EG J0828-4954, 3EG J0841- 4356, 3EG J0848-4429, and 3EG J0859-4257. This conclusion is based on analysis of phase-resolved maps of the pulsar region. The...

The source 3EG J1835+5918 was discovered early in the CGRO mission by EGRET as a bright unidentified Î³-ray source outside the galactic plane. Especially remarkable, it has not been possible to identify this object with any known counterpart in any other wavelengths band since then. Analyzing...

Reports on the similarity of the anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma repeaters as extremely magnetized neutron stars. Production of brief bursts of energetic x-rays; Production of less-energetic radiation; Nature of the bursts results from powerful quakes.

The article discusses the discovery of PSR J1823-3021 A, a millisecond pulsar with high gamma-ray luminosity due to a strong magnetic field which is located in the globular cluster NGC 6624, by researchers with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, published online in the journal "Science."
